- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
- Lay the chicken breasts on a clean surface. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Season Inside and Outside:
- Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Stuff the Chicken:
- Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, pressing the edges together to seal the pocket.
- Brush with Olive Oil:
- Brush the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil. This helps achieve a crispy exterior.
- Place in the Air Fryer:
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
- Air Fry:
- Air fry for approximately 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through the cooking time, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Check for Doneness:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. The juices should run clear when pierced with a fork.
- Rest and Slice:
- Allow the stuffed chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve:
- Serve the air fryer stuffed chicken breasts with your favorite sides.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy your flavorful and juicy stuffed chicken breasts!
Feel free to customize the filling based on your preferences. You can use ingredients like mushrooms, cream cheese, or different herbs for variation. Air frying provides a quick and efficient way to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the chicken moist and flavorful on the inside.
